Kiwi Travel International Airlines became New Zealand's second scheduled international carrier on 23 August when it ran its inaugural service between Hamilton in New Zealand's North Island and Sydney, Australia, using a Boeing 727 leased from Av Atlantic in the USA. Operating under the new Tasman open-skies policy agreed between the two countries, Kiwi will operate scheduled services from Hamilton to Brisbane and Sydney and from Dunedin in the South Island to Brisbane.
